FFPE DNA Purification Kits: Compare GeneJET, Alternatives & Automation

Using the Cambrian FFPE gDNA Isolation Kit involves loading your lysed FFPE sample into the Manta cartridge, peeling the seal, and initiating the automated run. The Manta system handles magnetic bead-based binding, washing, and elution automatically. The full post-lysis workflow completes in 28 minutes, with downloadable Instructions for Use (IFU) available to guide each step.

The Cambrian FFPE gDNA Isolation Kit yields high-molecular-weight genomic DNA compatible with a broad range of downstream applications, including Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS), PCR-based mutation analysis, oncology studies, cancer diagnostics, reproductive genetics, and infectious disease testing — making it suitable for both research and clinical diagnostic laboratories.

The Cambrian FFPE gDNA Isolation Kit supports flexible throughput of 1 to 32 samples in a single run on the Manta system. Unlike batch-only systems, it allows processing of distinct sample types simultaneously, making it ideal for oncology labs handling limited or heterogeneous FFPE samples without wasting reagents or plastics.

FFPE block age can affect DNA yield and fragment size due to progressive crosslinking and degradation over time. Older blocks may yield more fragmented DNA. Cambrian Bioworks addresses this through its advanced magnetic bead technology and provides dedicated FAQ support on the effects of FFPE block age, decrosslinking optimization, and wax contamination management to help labs maximize recovery.

Yes. The Cambrian FFPE gDNA Isolation Kit is certified for clinical diagnostic use, holding CE-IVD mark under EU IVDR Regulation 2017/746 and CDSCO IVD certification in India. It is ISO 13485 certified for quality management, making it appropriate for use in regulated clinical laboratory environments including cancer diagnostics and molecular pathology labs.

The kit is designed to run on the Manta, Cambrian Bioworks' compact cartridge-based automated nucleic acid extraction system. Manta's pre-filled cartridge format simplifies workflow setup, and its compact design allows placement inside a laboratory hood. Demo scheduling is available through the Cambrian Bioworks website for labs evaluating the system.
